Giffords Gun Group a New Attempt at an Old Divide-and-Conquer Tactic

It’s not the first time we’ve seen gun-grabbers create what became known as “Astroturf” gun groups. We’ve seen them come and go over the years, and they all share two things in common: Outside special interest funding and a lack of any appreciable grassroots support. [More]

Looks like AHSA 2.0 is being released.

Because They Think It's in Your Nature

I was advised via email that Cabelas now has trigger locks on all guns and the excuse being given is that Bass Pro Shops had a guy come in and commit suicide.

Ain't it just typical for "gun control" to put restrictions on everybody over the actions of one guy? How does their slogan go?

"It's in your nature."

Looking around I find corroboration at Reddit and other forums like The Firing Line and Sig Talk, so it looks like this is old news to those of you who frequent the big box stores and the message boards, which leaves me out.

Hey, if ATF can be prevented from examining the inner workings, why not us, right?

Sounds like a lot of smoke but no fire. Truth be known, armed invaders at the border would be a gift. Somebody had to know that.

I have to wonder if the release of such "unsubstantiated" information was done to squelch a plot that would backfire, and/or if somebody is playing "Out the CI."
